Currently!

Hey! What's doing on with you?

Here's what's going on with me...

Current Book: As Time Goes By, Mary Higgins Clark. I gotta say, her new books just aren't as good as her old ones. It doesn't even seem like her writing style. Everything seems rushed. Oh well, it's still a quick and easy read to help me fall asleep at night.

Current Podcast: A couple months ago, we started listening to This American Life. Some episodes are better than others, but I always at least try out the new episode. I am a couple weeks behind, though!

Current Guilty Pleasure: Effing around on my phone.

Total Number of times I blew my nose yesterday: 10,000.

Current Need: To feel 100% again. I hate being sick.Current Triumph: Getting a bunch of lesson plans done yesterday.Current Wish List: A cleaning woman.Current Bane of My Existence: Kindergarten. And First Grade. There, I said it.Current Most Annoying Celebrity: Hmmmm... Dare I say the T word????

Current Indulgence: Our third row Cirque Du Soleil tickets!

Current TV Show: BIG BROTHER. I freaking love it.

Current Food: Paul has been BBQ'ing my chicken. Lunch actually tastes good these days!

Current Drink: Sangria.Current Thing I Am Thankful For: Family!

Current Excitement: I get paid on Friday!!!! I take a lump sum at the beginning of the summer so I haven't gotten paid in about 3 months. Can't wait to see those dollah dollah bills, ya'all!

Having someone come and clean our house is so worth it! I hope you start to feel better, soon! Being sick really does stink. Current food is garden Roma tomatoes--they are so good and we have tons! Current guilty pleasure would be that we just booked 2 beach vacations that are only 3 weeks apart. Puerto Vallarta in February and Playa del Carmen in March. Well, YOLO, right?!?

Our tomatoes shit the bed this year! I am glad you got so many. Tomatoes from the garden really taste better. WOW you guys are going to be living it up this winter! What is the occasion, besides YOLO??? :)

See, this is why we need to be neighbors because I could just walk right over and give you some! A girl can dream, right?! We always go someplace warm for my birthday in February. Some friends booked a March spring break trip and invited us along so we thought "why the hell not?!?" The three weeks in between will be good detox time (we maybe drink a bit more than we ever do when we go to all inclusive resorts--I mean, they make it SO easy)

I am the type of person who would probably clean my house for the cleaners to come! I actually don't mind cleaning--it gets out some of my nervous energy. Now, a personal chef...I have been in a reading rut lately...I can't find anything to really interest me...I hope you feel better

Awww haha that is funny! I would have to not be there if someone cleaned my house. Sometimes I don't mind cleaning if I have a good podcast, or it's a rest day. It's a good excuse to get my body moving and the blood flowing.

Awww did school start? Go to sleep early tonight with your Baylee girl! :) Yes we can get it as a lump sum, which I kind of like because it's more money than I EVER see in my bank account at one time! Of course it is mostly gone by September but it is still fun in the moment.

It's going to be a VERY slow decorating process because apparently all the furniture I want is incredibly expensive so we have to buy like one thing per month LOL! But seriously, this coffee table speaks to me: https://www.jossandmain.com/Dior-Coffee-Table-DU2-XIU113SPTF-SBYJ1368.html <3

Well I could keep getting paid regularly or take the lump. I usually take the lump.

Luckily, as the music teacher, I don't get stuck with "that kid" allllll day or allllll year. I get to see all of them, but for 40 minutes at a time. 40 minutes is too long of a class period for K and 1st grade, but what do I know?

I was afraid to say this out loud, but currently my heel & arch hurts and I'm thinking I might not get to the start line on Sunday :( :( It appeared on Saturday night and it really didn't like my easy 5 miles yesterday. Wearing running shoes to work today and will see the Dr at 3:45 to assess. I'm thinking either PF (good, could be run on I think) or stress fracture (bad, missing key races). Ugh.Good deal on the payday happening again for you!!!! ps, I had a good chuckle with my play of "word dorks" ;)

We have a house cleaner come in every other week and it is definitely worth the money. Otherwise, my house would go to shit because I just don't have the energy or time to clean when chasing around a 1 year old.

I love my phone. Not gonna lie. And I am a little addicted. I want to make it so it doesn't "ding" every time something happens. Right now it dings if: I get an email, I get a text, someone posts on bloglovin, I get a fb notification, someone makes a move on WWF or Scrabble, or if someone snap chats me. It basically dings all day, and I feel COMPELLED to check it right away. I need to disable that.

I think MHC and some of my other favorite prolific writers are using ghost writers now. I read a David Baldacci book recently that was totally not his writing style at ALL. Once they have like 75 books to their names and they're writing 10 books a year, I just assume they're hiring out the work.
